Step 1) listen to welcome to the jungle by guns and roses 2) re-read welcome to the forest tweets 3) be simultaneously mind blown and disappointed

To y'all out there I'm a faceless blogger who maybe could be pretty dumb, and this post here-http://thefogcomesinonlittlecatfeet.tumblr.com/post/149301682957/onlylistentothemountaingoats-a-sneak-peek-at-aCompelled a lot of people to tell me that guns and roses exist because they thought maybe I didn't know this and I sincerely thought these weren't joke tweets. Thank you guys but I'ma bona fide old person who lived through the 90s and I am familiar with both axel rose and sarcasm. (No offense to anyone about this I was amused)

Survey for tMG fans -- tell us about yourselves!

hey everybody!  so this is super random, but i was bored and kind of tipsy and i decided to make a survey to gather some demographic data about tMG fans that seemed interesting and relevant.  i love taking surveys so i thought it might be fun, and i’m super curious to see what kind of data i get from it.  i tried to make it as easy and accessible as possible; there’s a “prefer not to answer” option on every personal question, and you can come back and edit your responses even after you’ve completed and submitted your survey.  up-to-date results on the multiple choice questions will be visible to everyone once you click the “done” button, so if you’re interested in crunching numbers that’s an added incentive.  this isn’t like, important, i just thought it would be cool is all.

feel free to reblog/share elsewhere!  hope some of you feel like taking it :)

ACK you guys i was editing the survey earlier and accidentally deleted a question, i put it back in, so if anybody would be willing to go back and edit their responses that would be awesome!  cw: the new question is asking about abuse and/or trauma

John Darnielle Brings the Mountain Goats Back to NY for a Small but Mighty String of Shows

The fan-made custom Google map entitled "The Mountain Goats" is marked with 259 blue pins, each representing a place mentioned in a song by the prolific Durham, North Carolina, band. Most of the pins land on precise and obscure locations: Gojjam, a now-divided province of Ethiopia; Tianchi Lake, in China;...
